San Andres

[Nortelx]

The Isleño is currently closed for renovation. It is a nice hotel on the best beach but you have to cross the road to get to it (not a big problem).

Of course when you stay at any Decameron property on San Andres you get access to the others including food, drinks, shows and casino. They only ask that if you plan to eat dinner at another property you tell someone at your property in the morning so they can put you on the list (or so that was the case in May 2004).

There are 6 Decameron properties on San Andres. There is a map on the link above that shows the locations of all 6.

It would help if you would define your price range. "Mid range" is rather vague. I stayed at the Decameron Islena. A good sized room, 3 meals a day, and free drinks came to US$108 a day, which I thought was a pretty good deal, since most of the meals were buffets, I. E. , all you can eat. The Decameron chain has other hotels on San Andres as well.

That's about the price I was looking for, was that for 2 people? Sounds like a good deal for all inclusive. Is the Decameron Islena Beach front? How about airfare?

Thx,

Good day Mates,

I'm thinking about trying a long weekend, possibly a 2-3 day trip with one of my favorite Chicas. If anyone else has done this can you recommend any sites that offer great deals on air and hotel (mid range) packages?

All the information I have found seems overly expensive. Almost the same as if you try and book a hotel room in CTG over the web.

Any updated info on San Andres would be appreciated.

Carnival pictures? Care to expand as I haven't a clue what you are referring to, though I'd be thrilled to see some Carnival pictures. Please do post them. Thanks buddy.

Funny as you seem to know everything, by the way I did enjoy those bq carnival pictures a lot, ssmith just spammed my box today with a link to the carnival page where you stole the pictures and claimed you had been there and took them yourself. LOSER.

Huh? Interesting. I've never heard that before.

San Andres has a reputation among Colombian chicas as a place to go for a few months to make mucho dinero.

Besides the lack of p4p on the Island....

There is definitely p4p available on San Andres. There is a bar/brothel out in the middle of nowhere named Club Sexy. The girls there are choice, but it's best to get there after 10 or 11. All the cabbies know how to get there. It is, not surprisingly, on the expensive side. San Andres has a reputation among Colombian chicas as a place to go for a few months to make mucho dinero. As far as I know it's the only such establishment on the island, but it's as good as similar places I went to in Cartagena. Here's my report from last year:

Brief update from someone who has been to San Andres a couple of times. Some tourist photos too.

R.T. It is comments that could get me to fall off the Wagon!!! But thanks the props and the congrats, all I can say is we will see, they say third time is a charm, I hope so! But does a hand job count against me?

A friend of mine is having a bachelor party in Rio, in two months but I had to take a pass!

Follow up to my Nib's report! I hooked up with Daniel the same way you did, I tried to call his ass from Quito, but nada, however once on the ground I gave my cab driver my business card and Daniel found me!

For you guys that plan on a visit to San Andres I can't recommend this guy enough! First of all the brother is on time, if he tells you 9am he will be there at 8:55 am, I am sorry but that is uncommon in South America!

Next of all he will show you places on the Island that you will not discover on your own, it is small shit but worth the price of admission! An Island tour is nothing to write home about, I mean the place is so damn small, but for $30 or $40 US you can't go wrong!

R.T. My wife was like your girl that you described, kind of stand offish at first then warmed up to him real fast, because the guy shoots from the hip, and will take care of you and not rip you off!

Anyhow Regulr Travlr, had mentioned, if you take any girl from Latin America, you might as well take them to the French Rivera, because that is the hot spot in Latin America! If a chica is not giving up the goods, just take her ass to San Andres!

Regulr: The new beach at the Marazul is not much better, but it is about a mile from the main Hotel, and I guess it just thins out the crowd a little! But you can walk 1/4 of a mile or so from the main Island to another small Island and a ship wrack.

Besides the lack of p4p on the Island, the only other draw back that I could see, if you want to shop, you can't do it between Noon and 2pm, most of the shops are closed for lunch! Fucking unreal, considering the Island survives on 99.999999995011% tourism!

Regulr, Daniel's cell is still the same! He mentioned to me that he could get me an apartment on the beach for $150 US a month, something you might want to consider!

My girlfriend and I usually travel to Cartegena, Medellin, etc. For some fine action (sometimes she joins in, sometimes not). Anyway we're thinking about going to San Andres in 11/07 and I'm wondering as far as nice chicas, strip bars, etc. If it's worth the trip (besides the usually touristy things to do).

Thanks much.

There is some strip action along with on-site and take out sex. Not a lot though. You may be able to find some chicas interested in a 3 way. Now with your girlfriend in tow you might be able to work some magic on the locals. But you will not find anywhere near what you find in CTG and MDE. You can read about the clubs in some of the earlier posts.

That being said I love the island and would defnitely return with a girlfriend. Let us know if you are succesful in arranging anything.

okay.. so it looks like i have no chance of getting what i need internet related. i not only need internet, i need a dataport with an upload speed of at least 256kbps. so i'll give up on the working while there idea.

next, anyone have any recommendations as far as deals go? i'm going to take my gf. from recommendations and reading around it looks like the best hotels are decameron's marazul, aquarium, and delfines as well as sunrise hotel.

when i was there 3-4 years ago, i paid 100k pesos a night to stay at a place that was pretty much 1.5 or 2 star. it was right on the main beach but nothing special and food was horrible.

most of the places i have listed above are all-inclusive and range from $100-125us/night.. i'm assuming for 2 people as i put 2 adults as the requests. that's not bad as it's all-inclusive and we can use all the other decameron facilities to eat at... right? does anyone know if you stay at a decameron can you go to the other decameron shows/entertianment/discos for free as well?

i'd like to see if any travel agents would be able to find me any good deals, maybe airfare, hotel, and island tours, or boat tours all together. if anyone has any info, please post or pm as i plan on going in less than a month

I stayed at two Decamerons on San Andres and they had zero internet access anywhere. One was the Marazul, the nicest. If they didn't have it I doubt the other Decamerons would.

I used a cafe in town and the connection was horrible. Based on my experiences I would not make any promises to someone that you will be able to have easy internet access.

This is really the only negative thing I have to say about this island. Otherwise I love it.

the most upscale /newest hotel i know of the sunrise http://www.sunrisehotel.com. if anybody has it i would guess it would be there. i have stayed at several hotels in san andres and my favorite is the casa blanca, http://www.hotelcasablanca.net/english/elhotel.htm. they have apt style rooms by the pool that are comfortable and can be more chica friendly because of the way you enter. i always took 2 chicas with me and being a **** explored the casas at night. it has been several years but the nightlife was a little boring, daytime [CodeWord118] was excellent. we rented vw beachbuggys and roamed the island. i need to go back for a short stay. avianca has been flying direct from cartagena for a while.
